Bird Scooters Are Now In Neenah
The new transportation option can be activated through Bird’s free mobile phone application.
A few things to remember when riding scooters in the City of Neenah:
- You must be 18 or older to ride.
- Only one rider per Bird.
- Ensure you stick to riding on the road in Downtown Neenah; riding on the sidewalk is prohibited.
- The Bird app will indicate areas of “preferred parking.” Riders can stop their ride in these locations to receive a discount on their next ride.
- When parking the scooters, keep scooters in an upright position with two wheels making point of contact with the ground. Ensure that the sidewalk is free from obstruction.
- The app will not allow riders to end their ride on all bridges, overpasses and roundabouts.
- Scooters are prohibited in the parking ramp and skate park.
